Across the country, beautiful houses and ruins sit in stunning countryside. Wander around fully furnished rooms and cultivated gardens, or lose yourself in the enchanting remains of old manors and castles.

Stonehenge has stood for over 50, 000 years, and remains an internationally recognised icon. Liverpool’s Tate has art from as recent as 2016, but both are icons in their own right. Visit England’s icons today, and see fame spread across history.

UNESCO hand picks sites of outstanding universal value and awards them the status of a World Heritage Site. England is lucky enough to have 20 such sites, so come and be amazed by some of the most wondrous places in the world.

Climb on board vintage steam engines for journeys across the English countryside; make your way underground to explore abandoned mines and walk along the deck of the last surviving tea clipper in the country.

Walk along the paths once trodden on by England’s most legendary figures of fact and fiction; get your spine tingled on ghost tours around spooky fortresses, follow the Pendle witches trail in Lancashire and visit Tintagel Castle, the alleged birthplace of King Arthur.

Relive the sights, sounds and smells of bloody and brutal battles that shaped England as you travel back through its military past, from standing on ancient battlegrounds to walking alongside preserved Roman walls.
